MISTAKENLY SUSPECTED.
a Man who Trsiled up Horse and was
Supposed to Have stolen Il,

Yesterday morning, quite early, q man
came in from the grading camp Of the
Carey Bros, some four miles southeast of
the city. and reported that the evening
before one OF the horses belonging to the
contractors bad. been made away with.
giving the name and description of the
party who had last been seen with it. The
authorities here we're notified in order
If possible, the thief might be captured
and the horse recovered before they could
get out of the country. The statement was
that the horse was ridden from the camp
up over tho hill by the party suspected,
ostensibly to hunt for another horse, since
which time when the information was
given neither the man nor the horse had
been seen or heard from.
At noon yesterday, however. u boy
came in from the Carey camp with the
further information that it was all
right, the horse had not been stolen at all,
although the suspected party had rather
a rough and curious experience. He had
ridden the horse out of the grade m
as already stated, but when over the hill
and out of sight of the camp the horse
became fractions and the rider was thrown
to the ground, the horse rapidly making
off in a northeny direction. Instead of
returning to the camp the man followed
the horse. not only until dark but all
night also, managing by hard work to
keep either in sight or hearing of the ami
NAL. Yesterday morning the two brought
up at a ranch well over toward Horse
creek, where the fugitive horse was Sc
cured and ridden back to camp.

The Water CommIttee.

In order hat the water may be kept
flowing into the upper lakes in sufficient
volume to supply all the wants and needs
of the city. the committee has taken the
matter in hand and propose to devote a
share of their time to a personal super
vision of the bitches, lakes, etc. This is
to be done in the main for the reason that
the more water that can be kept flowing
into the lakes until the filter Is procured
the purer it will be. While the city never
fails of getting a good supply of water, il
it can be purified in part before it is used,
80 much the better.

"Of course you find a great difference
In the natural aptitude of different per-
Sons for such thingsI"
"Oh, yes. The athlete is born an ath-
lete; the gymnast is made, and some,
times made from very unpromising ma
terial. l can take almost any youth and
teach him to be a good gymnast. But
some persons seem to have a quicker con-
nection than others between the brain
and certain muscles, and these excel in
what requires immediate obedience Of
the muscles to the will. There is a physi-
cal tact Just as there is a mental tact,
and an apparently difficult and dangerous
feat is accomplished by using Just the
right stress at just the right moment.
There is, of course, a certain knack in
using the apparatus. This is taught in a
small part of the time in which it can be
acquired by practice without the lessons.
A good many Of the gymnasts' feats
which are apparently done so easily are
the result of long continued practice. AS
some one has said, an uneducated eye
can no more appreciate the difficulties of
certain gymnastic exercises by seeing
them done with 80 much ease than an
inexperienced ear can estimate those OF a
piece OF music by hearing it played" "

One of the Results.

AS a general thing a town or city, no
more than a private individual, should not
brag of what such individual or town may
have done, but a word in regard to the
late corner stone celebration may not be
inappropriate or out Of place. AS a pub
lie demonstration and parade, nothing
equal to that of Wednesday has ever
taken place in Wyoming Territory, and
this fact shows to the world. or rather
this portion of it, that when Cheyenne un-
dertakes to do anything in this line it is
never done in any slipshod fashion but
always in such a way as to make the af-
fair whatever it may be a grand success.
While our many visitors FROM abroad
were not shown more courtesy than they
deserved-for nothing could well be too
good for them from the Cheyenne stand
polnt-yet it can safely be said hat they
were treated with due consideration, and
THE LEADER has it from many of them
that they we're one and all highly pleased
with the treatment which they received
while here, and with all that transpired in
connection with the exercises of laying the
corner stone. They therefore returned to
their homes feeling more friendly than
ever toward Cheyenne, and as Judge Rob
inson remarked yesterday morning {:
Cheyenne is a whole souled town, and
when we lay the corner stone of our new
court house at Collins, we shall want you
all to come down. and we will try and re-
ciprocate."
